I see the 6 Nations is introducing bonus points for next year’s event. Typically for Rugby Union it’s complicated.
Now whilst I would not use RU as any benchmark for sporting development, I’ve long felt a bonus point system could work well in football.
Keep it simple. A bonus point for scoring 3 goals, regardless of the end result. For me, if a team scores 3 goals but loses 4-3 (eg Liverpool v Newcastle April 1996) they deserve something from the game. It would encourage attacking play as teams at 2-0 up still have the incentive to go forward and conversely encourages defence as well ie dont give up at 0-2…
Simple to say “if it’s not broke dont fix it” but things have changed before ie 3 points for a win, Football League switching to goals scored in 1996 (Wigan cannot thank you enough Mr Hill :lol: :lol: ).
What do you reckon co-supporters?
In the mid lancs table tennis league points were awarded for points won per set so a 21-7 21-14
win would give 42 pts to one side and 21 to the other over 10 games.
How about a point a goal.
1 nil one point.
3-3 three points each.
5-4 five points to one and four for the other.Not a big fan of them personally. Can understand why they have them in cricket but if you lose and get maximum bonus points you only get 5 compared to a possible 21. They trialled them in rugby league and it flopped.
I’ve always been of the opinion that if you lose, you lose. Scoring 3 away is great but if you concede 4 then you deserve nothing.
You recall Liverpool v Newcastle 4 – 3. I recall Nottingham Forest v Wigan 4 – 3. We was robbed.
If rugby is being used as the example I reckon we should make it simple, and just get the number of points equivalent to the number of goals scored, and points deducted for goals the number of goals conceded. Sounds simple.After that ….. get video replays in quick, but hmmmmm that may have got 2 penalties against us on Monday night. Delete that thought.
